Service to Industry Since 1985

The TCI Group was formed in 1980, with the inauguration of TCI Services, to provide a range of Consultancy and Inspection Services relating to all aspects of Corrosion Management and Protective Coatings.

Our objective: to design, deploy and maintain the best planned and most effective systems of Corrosion Mitigation and Control. We deploy a ‘unique’ set of tools and technologies designed to minimise risk, enhance safety and prove integrity and corrosion compliance on all types of process plant, all whilst reducing the cost of maintenance.

Understanding Corrosion

Understanding corrosion is the first step to determining the risk it poses in your plant. Almost all substrates exposed to the environment or other substances are at risk of corrosion. SCM can help you answer these difficult questions:

Why is my plant at risk?

What are my risks?

Determining corrosion exposure risks

What are ‘Corrosivity Zones’?

Determining ‘CUI’?

Where is it?

How bad is it?

What are my options?

Corrosion Solutions

There are a number of stages involved in solving external / internal corrosion, each must ‘dovetail’ to result in a homogeneous engineering solution. This is not always easy. With SCM you can develop sound and transparent corrosion solutions. Consider:

Assessment – do I have corrosion risks?

Strategy - Dealing with it long term

Control methods and mechanisms

Prioritisation of risk and maintenance

‘Objective Evidence’ – do I have control of external / internal corrosion?

Control Technologies

There are many forms of corrosion control, some are basic and work at the prevention level, such as protective coatings, some more sophisticated that predict and plan to mitigate risks. Discuss with SCM how these can be applied in your plant.
